Volume 2, Temple and Rivers Chapter 38, Changes

The majestic palace is magnificent and vast, revealing the imperial spirit everywhere.

In the Wende Palace, the old emperor was lying on his side with golden silk and soft collapse, three or two palace maids and eunuchs beside him served carefully, the emperor's slightly closed dragon eyes were immersed in enjoyment, and he slowly opened his eyes when he heard footsteps, and his old eyes were staring at Zhao Zhengli tightly.

The eyes of the trial could be felt hundreds of meters apart, and Zhao Zhengli was not the slightest timid; Still following behind the old heavenly master and walking towards the palace without hurry, he has been walking into the Wende Hall under this gaze, a few meters away from the old emperor on the soft collapse.

Zhao Tianshi was wearing a white robe, and bowed: "See Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Zhengli also followed suit: "See Your Majesty!" ”

The old emperor didn't answer, he still stared at Zhao Zhengli who was falling softly, and he didn't get an answer, and the old and the young were half bowed; Waiting with his head down, he slowly said after a while: "Give the two Taoist masters a seat!" ”

The old emperor tried to get up, and the old eunuch Cao Yan hurriedly stepped forward to help, and after he sat upright, he looked at the old man and the young: "Is the Qingcheng Xiaodao chief still used to it in the capital?" ”

For the old emperor's tentative question, Zhao Zhengli replied with neither humility nor arrogance: "Back to Your Majesty, the monks are all over the world, and it is a blessing to be able to practice in the prosperous Heavenly Master's Mansion in the prosperous capital, and all this is thanks to Your Majesty's kindness to the Heavenly Master." ”

Zhao Zhengli euphemistically expressed that all the four seas are the same, and if he can come to the capital, he will thank the Heavenly Master Mansion and the old emperor, and the implication is that he has nothing to do with other forces.

The old emperor said again: "I heard that there are three other masters and servants of the Yu family who entered Beijing with the head of the small road? Do you know the details of the three people? ”

Zhao Zhengli said truthfully: "The two sisters of the Bi family are disciples of the Bihua Sword Sect in Shu, and they were destroyed by the former Shu County Taishou Zongmen, and they participated in the suppression of bandits and exterminated Shu together with Xiaodao, and the other Zhang Ziya was known to Zitong Qiqu Peak in Shu Dao in the north, and he was full of enthusiasm to go north to regain the land of Yanyun from the army. ”

The old emperor rubbed his temples and closed his eyes: "I know!" The two Dao Masters stand down! ”

Zhao Zhengli was a little stunned, is this the end of the question?

Only then did the Heavenly Master ask carefully: "Your Majesty, what should Zhang Ziya do?" ”

The old emperor fell slanted from the new, several eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly stepped forward to beat their legs and rub their shoulders, and the emperor closed his eyes and said: "I have arranged for the forbidden army to arrest me, and after I catch it, I will first detain the military department!" ”

The old man and the young were about to bow and leave, and the old emperor suddenly added: "If you haven't caught it at dawn tomorrow, you will have to trouble the Heavenly Master to come forward." ”

The Celestial Master replied, "Obey!" ”

Then the two Taoist masters slowly withdrew from the Wende Palace, on the way back Zhao Zhengli was absent-minded, the two of them walked out of the palace on foot on the royal street, and walked towards the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Zhao Lao Tianshi looked at him and smiled slightly: "Boy, you don't understand the holy will!" ”

Zhao Zhengli glanced at him, it was the first time he had been in contact with this Zhao Tianshi so closely, he was kind and kind-eyed, silver-bearded, and had no great grandmaster at all, which made Zhao Zhengli feel a little more favorable, but at this moment, when he was depressed, he smiled and always felt a little schadenfreude, so he asked rhetorically: "What holy will?" ”

He stretched his brows and stroked his beard: "Your Majesty is clearly favoring you, and now he is even favoring your friends, do you know why Zhang Ziya was arrested quickly?" And then detain the military department? ”

Zhao Zhengli shook his head.

The old heavenly master explained to him: "Arresting him as soon as possible is to prevent his accidents, after all, if you offend the literati of the whole dynasty, those poor scholars are the best at revenge, and the revenge of scholars is not like practicing martial arts and cultivating only to take their lives, they are ruthless and not only killed; and disrepute. The imperial court usually detains prisoners in Dali Temple and Imperial Prison, do you know why they chose to be in the military department? ”

Without waiting for Zhao Zhengli to answer, he continued: "Because the military department is managed by Yu Shangshu, and Yu Shangshu did not participate in any party disputes in the imperial court, he only obeyed the emperor's orders, and you have a good relationship with Yu Shangshu when you enter Beijing, he will more or less take care of your friends, at least he will not be beaten." ”

After he combed through it like this, Zhao Zhengli immediately understood the twists and turns, and secretly sighed at the complexity of this officialdom, Zhao Zhengli suddenly remembered something and asked: "Your Majesty treats me like this, is it possible to look at the face of the Heavenly Master?" Because the old heavenly master has a small path and an imperceptible partiality, in addition, may I ask the old heavenly master, does Longhu Mountain really have a 'dragon and tiger heavenly pill'? ”

Old Heavenly Master Zhao was stunned, Yu Guang glanced at him, it was really possible for him to say this, and the old Heavenly Master decisively gave a lighter weight: "Why did you suddenly ask about Dragon Tiger Dan?" ”

Zhao Zhengli felt that he deliberately avoided the previous topic, so he turned to Longhu Dan and said: "In the past, Xiaodao fought with the old woman of Nanzhao Kingdom in Shudi, accidentally hit the Gu poison of ten thousand corpses, and surprisingly did not die that day, and finally found that the Gu poison was forcibly sealed in the palm of his hand, and then went north to be attacked again, in order to force away the opponent's trail to forcibly untie the Gu poison, I thought that I would die and die, but I didn't want to finally come back from the dead, according to the people who traveled with me, in addition to the magic medicine of the East China Sea Immortal Mountain has the ability to resurrect the dead, only the Dragon and Tiger Tiandan in the world has, When the imperial court was canonized that day, I heard the old heavenly master say that you have investigated Xiaodao's life experience, dare to ask the old heavenly master to solve Xiaodao's confusion? ”

This problem has plagued Zhao Zhengli for a long time, and now he is just looking for an opportunity to say it.

The Heavenly Master was not surprised at all, twisting his beard and looking at the scenery of the Royal Street as he walked: "Heaven and earth have their own creations, and you think it is difficult to understand things; There are answers over time. ”

“……”

Zhao Zhengli didn't ask, the other party was obviously selling Guanzi, but he was sure that he knew the details, and he thought he wanted to ask if he looked like someone? can let the Taishi and Wenchen talk about it in the court, and now it makes no sense to ask him if he is so perfunctory.

Obviously, it is the first time I came to the capital, why is there a kind of cause and effect that is inextricably linked to the imperial court?

Returning to the Heavenly Master's Mansion and the old Heavenly Master disappeared again, Zhao Zhengli picked up Qi Yunshan's "Taisu Shuangjing" from the new, and just when he was devoting himself, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly appeared, Zhao Zhengli didn't need to look at it to know that it was Wudang Zhang Baishan, and glanced at him and ignored him.

Zhang Baishan looked at the "Taisu Shuangjing" in his hand and said: "These records are all superficial, as long as you are fighting, I recommend the true disciple of Qiyun Mountain to you, how about it?" ”

Zhao Zhengli blinked: "You really want to fight?" ”

Zhang Baishan nodded like a woodpecker: "Different sects have their strengths and weaknesses, and only in actual combat can we learn from experience, what can I learn from the book?" ”

Zhao Zhengli put down the book in his hand: "Then compare and compare!"

Zhang Baishan suddenly grinned in ecstasy: "Okay, let's go to the martial arts arena." ”

Zhao Zhengli secretly said that this guy is really belligerent, and it seems unreasonable to refuse several invitations, and he is also curious about the Wudang Dao method, but he happens to be irritable and can't find a place to vent.

There are no strict requirements for the martial arts competition in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and they can compete at will, provided that they must not damage the public property of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

The Heavenly Master's Mansion is very large, but there are only more than ten people, each of them is a dragon and phoenix, as soon as there is a wind and grass, it spreads to everyone's ears in an instant, and I heard that Zhao Zhengli of the Qingcheng faction and Zhang Baishan of the Wudang faction are fighting in a hurry, even if Song Maoling, who does not like to join in the fun, it is rare to watch the battle.

There was a man who looked like a weak scholar next to him, pinned to a waist knife of more than 30 inches, and the arc of the scabbard was dark and dark, and he felt cold just by looking at it.

This person is Qiyun Shanyang Zhifu, in his early thirties, his face is like a scholar, the Tao is above the peak of the grandmaster, he is the seat of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and the waist knife is called 'Wumang', and he has been in the Heavenly Master's Mansion for several years, and is familiar with the attic classics.

In addition, there are Xu Changzai of Jiangnan Province who is carrying a copper coin sword, Nangong Liu, a feminine and beautiful man, He Qijun who is slightly greasy, and others.

The guys who live in seclusion on weekdays all focus on the two of them in the lake martial arts arena.

Busy with cultivation every day, reading books, fighting martial arts competitions are one of the few 'entertainment' that attracts collective viewing, although there are often people who learn, but it is far from being as lively as today, because the protagonist is Zhao Zhengli of the Qingcheng faction in the Heavenly Master's Mansion 'debut', so it is particularly attractive, after all, his name is too loud on the rivers and lakes, and he has curiosity.

Zhang Baishan, who was in the martial arts arena, was carrying a silver spear, the blue robe was fluctuating in the breeze, and he looked a little magnanimous. Yang Jian stood quietly on the edge and watched Zhang Baishan.

The two looked at each other and saluted, Zhang Baishan took the lead in kicking the tail of the gun with one foot, lungeed and crossed, and shook the gun at the waist to attack Zhao Zhengli, the silver spear was like a spinning snake, the distance between the two was only three meters, Zhang Baishan stepped and stabbed the spear directly, Zhao Zhengli dodged sideways, the tip of the spear fell short and swept away, Zhao Zhengli raised his sword to resist and approached Zhang Baishan, and the blade rubbed a spark on the barrel of the gun.

Zhang Baishan lost the advantage of the spear from a distance, turned around and held the middle end of the gun, used the gun as a club, and pulled the flower gun around his waist to block Zhao Zhengli from getting close, and the silver gun in his hand was whirring.

Zhao Zhengli suddenly jumped up and slashed a sword, Zhang Baishan raised the gun in the rung, Zhao Zhengli kicked his chest with the help of his body falling, Zhang Baishan raised his leg and touched it hard, and the powerful impact made the two of them both bounce back a few steps.

The corner of Zhang Baishan's mouth smiled: "Be careful!" ”

He was bound to be thin with a gun in one hand, and attacked Zhao Zhengli again with the momentum of a cloud dragon, and the silver spear was held by him and disappeared, turning into a silver bell in the air, which was condensed by true qi and shining silver; Holding him firmly in it, the silver bell rubbed against the air to make a "buzzing" bell.

Zhao Zhengli raised his sword and swung out a "Flame Finger", and the majestic true qi hit the silver bell and made a huge bell ring, "Dang!" The aftermath of the true qi spread in all directions, and everyone watching the battle dissolved it with a wave of their hands.

Zhao Zhengli picked up the long sword and slashed down after the trial, and the true qi turned into a giant sword of nearly ten meters, which fell fiercely on the silver bell, the silver bell cracked directly, and Zhang Baishan dragged the crack aftermath to Zhao Zhengli; When the silver bell disintegrated, he took advantage of the situation and slashed the tip of the spear.

This shot was pierced by the explosion of the giant bell of true qi, Zhao Zhengli needed to beware of the fragments of true qi shattered by the giant bell, and he had to resist his clever shot, so that ordinary people were overwhelmed, Zhao Zhengli turned around and pulled the sword flower to scatter the fragments of the silver bell, and a stream of true qi rose from under his feet, he moved several meters horizontally like a ghost, and a fiery soul finger in the air defeated Zhang Baishan's true qi that was slanted upward, making two "bang" sounds.

The action was coherent and in one go, and the onlookers clapped their hands happily.

Only Qi Yun Shanyang knew his fate and Song Maoling, the sixth prince, saw that Zhao Zhengli had just left his hand.

After more than ten moves, Zhang Baishan attacked more and more fiercely, and Wudang twenty-four Tiangang and seventy-two places were all exerted, and its power was amazing, no wonder Zhang Baishan has always wanted to find someone to fight, and he has a lot of housekeeping skills.

Zhao Zhengli didn't dare to hold it up in the slightest, he secretly rejoiced that the eight veins of the Qi Jing were coarse, and there was enough true qi to quickly turn around and follow, if it was placed in the past, it would be difficult for him to guarantee that he could fight Wudang Zhang Baishan, and he had to admit that the inheritance of the true martial arts dojo was perverted, and the kind of true qi that transformed heaven and earth into yin and yang almost deduced the meaning of returning to the basics.

The two sides have a lot of insights into the battle, and they don't know the winner or loser when they fight each other, of course, the premise is not desperate, just like fighting with Song Maoling in Shudi, the two of them stopped at about the same time.

On the top floor of the attic of "Taoism is unified", Old Heavenly Master Zhao glanced at it and retracted his gaze, muttering: "It's quite conservative!" Young people still can't let go. ”
